Every Casual Friday in the office is a chance to stray away from your usual uniform into more expressive territory. Despite this golden opportunity to upgrade in style, many of us are fraught with wearing the same old thing in an attempt to “play it safe”. We’re here to show you our favorite casual work outfits for men that go beyond the monotonous button-up with jeans. No matter what kind of office you’re in, there’s an outfit in here for you. Keep reading for outfit ideas that are creative, comfortable AND good looking!

The Turtleneck

Layer a turtleneck under your blazer or overcoat and pair these pieces with a trouser, chino or jeans. Keep your footwear sharp with a Chelsea boot, or play on the casual side with a sneaker. We love turtlenecks for their nod retro class, as well as their versatility and comfort. For more ideas on the turtleneck, check out our post With a Nod to Sammy Davis.

Alternative to the Denim Jacket

The denim jacket – an otherwise laid-back piece – comes across as elevated when worn in alternative colors (as well as similar-style trucker & structured shirt-jackets in fabrics such as corduroy and suede). These pieces are a great top layer over trousers or jeans, and we love the creative element they bring to any outfit.

Spicing Up the Button-Up

Give the button-up a refresh with an outer layer! A coat, blazer or denim jacket can add interesting texture and silhouette to an otherwise tired outfit.

Jerry Lorenzo (Los Angeles designer) founded Fear of God in 2013, rising to streetwear status symbol via the coolest sneakers in today’s market, and his unique take on “sophisticated yet low-key basics” (as described in his SSENSE Biography).

“It’s a brand that represents stuff I like. God happens to be one of those things,” Lorenzo reported to The Cut. The clothes are heavily influenced by references Lorenzo was exposed to as a child. Some religious, and some notably in pop culture. Figures like Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, John Bender from The Breakfast Club, and NBA’s Allen Iverson are on Lorenzo’s list of inspiration.

Popular with celebrities and especially the NBA, Lorenzo went so far as to appease his admirers with an innovative NIKE collaboration, producing a highly sought after collection of on- and off-court gear, which released this past December.

Unassuming easy-wear layers, cult favorite side-zip hoodies and sneakers that never disappoint are what champion Lorenzo’s triumphant mark in menswear. See our list of Fear of God’s most essential shoes below!

A Quick History on Denim:

The earliest use of denim can be tracked back to Nimes, France. Rather than the cotton denim we know today, this fabric was a silk-wool blend. Fabrics were often named after their place of origin, hence “serge de Nimes” – which later evolved to “de Nim.”
In 1873, Levi Strauss created his first pair of tough denim jeans for the hardworking man with business partner Jacob Davis. This innovative partnership grew into the company we know and love today, Levi Strauss & Co.
